Sitting here grinning like a fool biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin ...I read your thread and started to read it cause I though I saw "Polish" (" Pole ish" as in the language - European country, etc).

I had the immediate idea that I'd call my daughter in law (who is Polish) and ask her the Polish word for "Motorhome" to help you out.

Still grinning biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin but can't think of anything that would help.

Sorry Fran wink

Jeff

Yes fibreglass Polish ..just use Maguires Caruba wax on a cloth as you would a shami .. With polish on . It mixes with the bubbles but spreads out real easy.. Leave half an hour or so then polish off .. Don't use much this way and heat doesn't make it hard to get off..

With AK's suggestion you will be able to chop all the wood for the camp fire then.

Ditto most of the above I use a 3M product called "Marine cleaner and wax" Wipe on wipe off" depending how chalky the MH is at the moment.If its bad you will want a more severe cutting / polish before this product.You might consider an electric buffer.This is for the MH fibreglas body only ,not the truck body

 Thnx jade46, I have an electric buffer, but not confident in using it, but you never now, I might just look for it and see how I go...

I use just 'ol ordinary Turtle Wax "super hard shell" liquid on Francesca, I can use that all over, fiberglass, body, but not the black plastic bits. (Iveco) I've found it lasts well & keeps it's shine & you can get it anywhere cheap. I wipe it on with a damp cloth & by the time I've done the second panel it's time to wipe off the one before.
Go for it Fran, keep it looking young & beautiful.
Baggie.
Life is too short to be miserable, enjoy, enjoy.

Corruba wax and water is easy .. No hard polishing ..especially if you've done it a few times..
I do this on my cars so I don't get water marks when it dries out..
Btw try marine clear coat in a can from Bunnings paint section ..
I have painted black plastic driving lamps and the rubber parts ..
Being clear , it doesn't need to be masked up...
Brings brake and indicated lenses like new too...
$17 a can goes along way...
I originally bought it to seal, protect wood section in home kitchen..

Btw it's Motor strona gówna ..
